Hairspray Live! - Big, Blonde and Beautiful lyrics

[Intro: MOTORMOUTH] Once upon a time Girl, I was just like you Never let my extra large Largesse shine through Hair was brown and nappy Never had no fun I hid under a bushel Which is easier said than done Then one day my grandma Who was big and stout She said you gotta love yourself From inside out And just as soon as I learned How to strut my funky stuff I found out that the world at large Can't get enough, so... [Verse 1: MOTORMOUTH] Bring on that pecan pie Pour some sugar on it Sugar, don't be shy Scoop me up a mess Of that chocolate swirl Don't be stingy I'm a growing girl I offer big love With no apology How can I deny the world The most of me I am not afraid To throw my weight around Pound by pound by pound Because I'm [Chorus 1: MOTORMOUTH] Big, blonde and beautiful There is nothin' 'bout me That's unsuitable No one wants a meal That only offers the least When girl we're servin' up The whole damn feast [Verse 2: MOTORMOUTH] Slice off a piece Of that hog head cheese Then take a look inside My book of recipes Now, don't you sniff around For something fluffy and light I need a man who brings A man-size appetite I'll use a pinch of sugar And a dash of spice I'll let ya lick the spoon Because it tastes so nice I keep it in my oven 'Til it's good and hot Keep on stirring 'til it hits the spot Because I'm [Chorus 2: MOTORMOUTH] Big, blonde and beautiful And Edna, girl, you're lookin' so recruitable Why sit in the bleachers Timid and afraid when Edna You can be your own parade [TRACY] So? How 'bout it, Mama? [EDNA] Well, I am big, I am blonde, and if you say I'm beautiful... [WILBUR] You're beautiful! Ruff! [EDNA] Alright, I'll do it! [Verse 3: MOTORMOUTH] Yeah, look out old Baltimore We're marching in 'And we ain't shufflin' Through that old back door [EDNA] And Tracy, I will join the fight If I can keep up this pace [WILBUR] And girls, I'll be right at your side If I can find some space [MOTORMOUTH] So they can gaze in wonder As you're spreadin' your wings You know that it ain't over 'Til the fat lady sings Tomorrow, side by side We'll show the world what's right [EDNA] Then we'll have chicken parmigiana tonight [Chorus 3: MOTORMOUTH] Then we'll be big, blond and beautiful It's time to face the fact It's irrefutable Can't ya hear that rumbling? That's our hunger to be free It's time to finally taste Equality [COUNCIL MEMBERS / MOMS] On mother, daughter day Where thin is in, we're white as wool [MOTORMOUTH] Well, ladies, big is back And as for black, it's beautiful All shapes and sizes, follow me [EDNA] Let's bust their chops [VELMA] Quick, call the cops! [MOTORMOUTH] We're gonna dance our way to victory! [COUNCIL MEMBERS / MOMS] Stay away, this isn't Negro Day [GANG / LEADS] 2, 4, 6, 8, TV'S got to integrate [MOTORMOUTH] We're here today [EDNA] We're here to stay! [VELMA] Arrest that one! [TRACY] Link, help me, please! [MOTORMOUTH] Big, blonde and beautiful leads the way [ENSEMBLE] No one's getting on TV today
